Getting form data

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 03.2004

Hey there,

I’m trying to figure out a very simple problem… I have a ‘subscribe to email’ form on my site’s frontpage. When they hit the submit button I want a small popup window, with no toolbar, menu bar, status bar etc etc to appear, telling the user that their address was submitted successfully. I don’t want to use the “target=”_blank”” option (or whatever).

Presumably I need to use window.open to do this. Fine, but how do I get their email address within the script, so that I can pass it as a URL parameter?! The form accepting the email address is straightforward PHP and is looking for a URL param.

Any suggestions?! Thanks in advance…

Mat

@oleragFeb 03.2004 — Something like this...?
[code=php]
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var popWin="";

function submitForm(form) {
var val = form.emailField.value;
var windowAtt = "top=10,left=10,width=300,height=300";
if (!popWin || popWin.closed) {
popWin = window.open('', 'popWin', windowAtt);
popWin.document.write('<html>');
popWin.document.write('<body>');
popWin.document.write('<form>');
popWin.document.write('<input type="text" disabled value=' + val + '>');
popWin.document.write('<br>');
popWin.document.write('<input type="button" value="Close" onClick="self.close()">');
popWin.document.write('</form>');
popWin.document.write('</body>');
popWin.document.write('</html>');
popWin.document.close();
}
else {
popWin.focus();
}
form.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<b>Email Sample</b>
<form action="#">
Enter Email: <input type="text" name="emailField" size="25" value=""><br>
<input type="button" name="submitBtn" value="Submit" onClick="submitForm(this.form)">
</form>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
